Chapter 636, New Gate
With Li Shukuang and Jiang Xianhe creating the first triple-helix gene life form, the biological science of the empire has once again achieved a leap forward. A brand new door was slowly opened by the scientists of the empire, just like discovering a new continent. Countless scientists began to struggle in new fields.
In just less than a hundred years, Yan Jia, another master in the field of biological science in the empire, developed a more powerful fire source, the second generation of fire source.
The second generation of fire source has made epoch-making progress compared to the first generation of fire source developed by Li Shukuang and Jiang Xianhe. The new fire source has more energy, and its own energy storage and absorption are also more powerful. It can always maintain control over the new body, and the control over the metal body is better and more powerful.
In addition to having more powerful abilities, Yan Jia has also taken the most important step on the road to exploring how to control the fire source. Yan Jia used an ability of biological self-protection to successfully achieve control of the fire source.
This ability to protect oneself is innate to life, just like when a puppy opens its eyes for the first time and sees a creature, it will instinctively think that this creature is its mother, and naturally it will be closer to this creature. There are many kinds of animals with this ability, and it is also very common in nature.
This is an instinct that creatures have developed after a long period of evolution, and it has been integrated into the genes. The purpose is to allow life to get the best protection at the youngest stage. Generally speaking, the first thing that various animals see and contact is definitely their parents. Naturally, they are closer to their parents, and they will naturally learn from their parents and obey their parents' orders.
Yan Jia took advantage of this characteristic of creatures. Although the fire source is special, it is still life in essence and still has many characteristics of life. It will naturally form a sense of dependence and closeness to the first life it contacts.
At the beginning, Jiang Xianhe used his own power to control the first fire source. The fire source felt Jiang Xianhe's breath and naturally calmed down and became closer. Instinctively, it thought that Jiang Xianhe was the parent who created it, so it was very close to Jiang Xianhe.
By using this characteristic of organisms and strengthening this ability when combining genes, a new means of controlling organisms is formed. This scientific method has a very nice name - the glory of maternal love.
For any organism, maternal love is great. When they are young, they need maternal love and need their mothers to care and take care of them wholeheartedly. This silent and selfless love will slowly enter the marrow of the organism. In the end, even if the offspring grows stronger than the previous generation, they still have to listen to their parents.
Of course, such a control method also has great risks. Rebellion is also a characteristic of life, especially for life with wisdom. The control method of maternal love may still be useful in the weak stage. Once the fire source becomes stronger and stronger, whether it will continue to be useful requires scientists to further study.
Less than 1,000 years after the birth of the second generation of the fire source, Li Shukuang, who was unwilling to be outdone, has a new work. This time he successfully integrated the god gene into the fire source with the triple helix gene, and made this fire source with the god gene the third generation of the fire source.
The third generation of the Fire Seed Source has more powerful abilities based on the second generation, and is developing more towards the direction of living things. The way to obtain abilities is no longer limited to swallowing the energy in the light, but like ordinary creatures, it needs to swallow some food and heaven and earth spiritual materials.
Its genes are integrated with the God gene. The energy provided by light alone can no longer meet its needs. It must swallow the heaven and earth spiritual materials to stimulate its own God gene, so as to have powerful and incredible magical powers.
In the void universe of a prosperous galaxy, large spaceships and space battleships are flying slowly in the void relying on inertial spaceships, and various detectors are densely distributed in the void of the entire galaxy.
On a space battleship, Li Shukuang is holding a third generation of the Fire Seed Source in his left hand and gently stroking it with his right hand. The third generation of the Fire Seed Source seems to enjoy this stroking very much. The small flame inside seems very quiet and very safe, as if it is a child in his arms.
"Little guy, come and eat something good."
Li Shukuang took out a specially prepared feed. Although it was named as feed, it was made by using a large amount of heaven and earth spiritual materials and scientifically proportioned. It was specially used to feed the third generation of the Fire Seed Source. This kind of feed used to be used to feed biological combat soldiers, and now it is also an indispensable thing for the Fire Seed Source.
Without the feed containing heaven and earth spiritual materials, the powerful divine gene possessed by the third generation of the Fire Seed Source cannot be stimulated at all, and it is not much different from the second generation of the Fire Seed Source.
As if encountering his favorite food, the little thing in Li Shukuang's hand jumped directly onto the feed and began to devour it one by one.
The Fire Seed Source is transparent. The feed was swallowed one by one, but it was digested in the blink of an eye and disappeared without a trace. If the core flame had not become more vigorous, Li Shukuang would even doubt where the feed went.
"Little guy, you are small, but your appetite is not small. Don't eat too much at a time. Go and see the mecha I built for you. I don't know if you like it."
Li Shukuang looked at the fire source that was constantly devouring and shook his head helplessly. The fire source, which was only the size of a fist, had devoured feed that was several times its own size, but it still looked like it was not full. It was obvious that it also liked this kind of thing that contained a lot of heaven and earth vitality.
Because from the perspective of genes, the god gene in its body will tend to it to constantly obtain more things containing heaven and earth spiritual materials. Only more things containing heaven and earth spiritual energy can bring out the powerful ability of the god gene and make itself stronger.
Li Shukuang brought the little thing to the warehouse area on the battleship. At this time, a steel giant as high as 100 meters stood quietly in the warehouse area. This is a mecha, a top mecha built by the empire scientists using various advanced technologies.
The status of mechas in today's empire is relatively embarrassing. The original concept of mechas was to magnify the ability of humans and apply it to the universe battlefield. However, now the empire's biological soldiers are too powerful. Not to mention mechas, even space battleships have no chance to go to the battlefield.
Therefore, mechas were gradually abandoned by the imperial military and the scientific community, but mechas did not disappear. Instead, they developed faster and faster, because there were countless mecha enthusiasts in the empire, and there were also public mecha competitions.
The collision between mechas, the battle between steel and steel, is now the most popular sport in the empire. From children to adults, there are countless mecha enthusiasts in the entire empire.
Since there is a market, naturally there are people to study it. The mecha manufacturing companies of all sizes in the empire also have very strong scientific research capabilities. Although they cannot be compared with the Imperial Academy of Sciences, there are too many scientists in the empire, and many ordinary people also have good research and development capabilities, so the empire's mecha manufacturing technology has been constantly developing.
The 100-meter-high steel giant in front of you is a mecha that Li Shukuang specially customized for the largest and most technologically advanced mecha manufacturing company in the empire-Boyuan Mecha Group.
The boss and founder of Boyuan Mecha Group is Tang Boyuan, the master of the empire's cosmic astronomical science. When he first entered the center of the Milky Way for scientific research, he saw the passion of mecha sports and brought mecha sports back to the empire, and it slowly developed in the empire.
He also opened a mecha manufacturing company, which gradually developed into the largest and most technologically powerful mecha technology company in the empire, with a variety of powerful mechas.
Of course, the empire also has strict restrictions on mechas in civilian competitions. Basically, civilian mechas can only be equipped with cold weapons, and the competitions can only be fought between cold weapons. As for other powerful weapons, they are definitely not allowed to appear on civilian mechas.
"Do you like it? If you like it, try it."
Li Shukuang felt the little guy in his hand getting excited, and Li Shukuang said softly to the little guy.
The little guy was very obedient and slowly floated towards the mecha. It seemed to be able to feel the power of this mecha and the mechanism of the mecha. It naturally came to the brain area where the center and control of the mecha were located.
This mecha was customized by Li Shukuang from Boyuan Mecha Group. It took a lot of scientists a lot of energy to design such a mecha specifically for the fire source.
Therefore, many improvements have been made in the control system, transforming the system controlled by people into a system controlled by the fire source. Of course, the fire source itself has powerful mechanical control capabilities.
Like a ghost, the fire source naturally passed through the thick armor of the mecha and merged into the brain of the mecha. Then, soon, the huge mecha that had closed its eyes opened its eyes, and its pair of red eyes looked very strange.
The huge mecha seemed very excited. As soon as it opened its eyes, it began to move its hands and feet, just like a human just getting up. It actually started to move, and its fingers moved very flexibly. From time to time, it raised its hands and feet, so that there were bursts of loud noises in the warehouse. This was the loud noise made by the mecha stepping on the steel floor.
Soon, it seemed to adapt to this huge steel body, and it moved very flexibly in the huge warehouse, running from time to time, rolling from time to time, very flexible, without the stiffness of the mecha at all.
